That's not a lot for the type of game it is, TBH. Revenue isn't profit. I also bet this person's milestone of increasing played by numbers made MLB greedy for more and went for Xbox even though that increase was from Sony marketing better and not just throwing it everywhere hoping they hit more people.

Thats close to 2 million copies a year, so not bad for essentially yearly roster updates though. Game hasn't had a new engine or major overhaul since ps3 era. This used to be a yearly purchase for me, but they seem completely content with their minor yearly tweaks and their 100 mil revenue so will likely never truly innovate unless a competitor forces their hand.

The Show 14 was massively updated on PS4. Crowds and Lighting.

They also put it on Switch fwiw, so I do think expanding the player base was a big part of the increase, as these games typically sold 1 million copies and are now pushing 2 million.

I agree its not much for a sports game, but you also have to remember that most people don't give a shit about baseball.

That’s about 1.5M copies sold per year.
